Background: The presence of acute coagulopathy and its effect on prognosis in burn patients are unclear. No studies are extant verifying early coagulopathy before fluid administration in burn patients. The current study focused on arrival coagulopathy before volume resuscitation was begun in earnest.
Methods: Data from 137 burn patients transported directly to the hospital without fluid administration from January 2006 to December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively.
Results: The non-survival group had significantly increased age, total burn surface area (TBSA) burned, various scoring systems, prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (PT-INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), the presence of coagulopathy, and lactate levels compared to the survival group. In the logistic regression analysis, the incidence of coagulopathy was independently associated with mortality. The coagulopathy group had significant increases in TBSA burned, various scoring systems, PT-INR, APTT, lactate levels, and the mortality than the noncoagulopathy group. The prognostic burn index (PBI) was significantly correlated with PT-INR and APTT. We also found a significant correlation between the serum lactate and the PT-INR, APTT, and PBI.
Conclusions: Acute coagulopathy of burn patients might be present on arrival to the hospital before fluid replacement which is an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality.

Group A Streptococcus (Strep A) is a human-exclusive bacterial pathogen killing annually more than 500,000 patients, and no current licensed vaccine exists. Strep A bacteria are highly diverse, but all produce an essential, abundant, and conserved surface carbohydrate, the Group A Carbohydrate, which contains a rhamnose polysaccharide (RhaPS) backbone. RhaPS is a validated universal vaccine candidate in a glycoconjugate prepared by chemical conjugation of the native carbohydrate to a carrier protein.

Introduction: Raising the temperature of abdominal wall endometriosis lesions contributes to an effective ablation; however, providing sufficient protection to the surrounding tissues remains a challenge. In this study, we aimed to combine ultrasound and single-port laparoscopic images to not only achieve complete ablation of abdominal wall endometriosis lesions but also protect surrounding tissues from damage. The adverse events and complications were Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade 1 or Society of Interventional Radiology classification grade A.

Patients with benzene-induced leukemia undergo a continuous transformation from myelosuppression to malignant proliferation. However, the underlying mechanisms in this process remain unknown. Our previous studies have shown that the pathways involved in self-renewal capacity of bone marrow (BM) cells in Mll-Af9 mice exposed to benzene for life are significantly activated after severe blood toxicity.

Objective: We aim to determine the maximum safe spatial-peak pulse-average intensity (I) of low-intensity focused ultrasound stimulation (LIFUS) in stroke patients and explore its effect on motor learning and corticospinal excitability.
Methods: We adopted the classic 3+3 design to escalate I (estimated in-vivo transcranial value) from 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, to 8 W/cm. Stopping rules were pre-defined: 2-degree scalp burn, clinical seizure, new lesion on diffusion-weighted imaging or major reduction in apparent diffusion coefficient, and participant discontinuation due to any reason.

Background And Objectives: Skin microbiome dysbiosis can cause skin barrier dysfunction and stimulate scar property change. Skin barrier disruption post-burn injury leads to an imbalance in skin microbe diversity and distribution. We aimed to examine the changes in the skin microbiome of re-epithelialized burn scars.
